Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022162002A1] A nest and tub arrangement (10) for the storage of medical device components including a tub (12) and at least one nest (14). The tub (12) includes four side surfaces (16, 17) and a plurality of guide ribs (22) extending vertically along the side surfaces (16, 17), wherein the plurality of guide ribs (22) are inwardly directed and include a friction surface (25) extending vertically thereon. The at least one nest (14) includes a top surface (35), a bottom surface (36), a plurality of receptacles (24) for the storage of a plurality of medical device components therein, and a plurality of deflectable clips (30) positioned on side surfaces (28, 29) of the at least one nest (14). A position of each of the plurality of deflectable clips (30) of the at least one nest (14) corresponds to a position of a respective one of the plurality of guide ribs (22) of the tub (12), and a portion of each of the plurality of deflectable clips (30) is configured to contact a corresponding friction surface (25) of a respective one of the plurality of guide ribs (22) so as to laterally deflect each of the plurality of deflectable clips (30) inward to align and secure the at least one nest (14) within the tub (12).
